2013 KIA SORENTO Visibility Wiper Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1185367
Internal NHTSA #	10717804
Manufacurer	Kia Motors America
Brand	KIA
Model	SORENTO
Model Year	2013
File date	21/05/15
Component	VISIBILITY/WIPER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The dashboard reflects onto the windshield reducing visibilty as the reflections cause distorted vision thru the windshield. This is extremely hazardous on sunny days as the reflections increase depending on the angle of the sun reflecting off the shiny dashboard onto the windshield. Maybe the dashboard should not be coated with such a reflective and shiny material to avoid this issue. In addition, the speed panel has detailed metallic paint around the speedometer and panel info which reflects beams of blinding light from the sun and bright lights into the drivers face while driving. Again, maybe the metallic paint and shiny reflective design should be changed to non-reflective options to avoid blinding the driver. Annoying features which cause the driver to adjust position while driving or try to block the blinding lights and visual distractions while in motion are dangerous and could lead to accidents. Kia please consider redesigning these dangerous design details and increase the safety for everyone. If changes are not made on newer models, i will never again purchase any kia products and will warn others of these dangers on this vehicle brand. Safety is more important than design so please remove the metallic paint from the speedometer panel and find a non-reflective material to cover the dashboard. Thank you.
